Chapter 664: Probability of Winning (6)
‘It’s more useful than I assumed.’
I thought about it for two days, but I still had to shake my head at Cha Hee-ra’s opinion.
‘Of course, I don’t think it would be possible alone. But what about the Blue Guild? Just because Kim Hyunsung, Cho Hyejin, Jung Hayan, and I won’t show up doesn’t mean that the party will collapse. I don’t know how he will look in your eyes, but I evaluate him as quite okay… Most of the guys with the title of a Tanker can’t hold against even just a few punches. It’s hard to find a person like him, even in the Red Mercenary. At least he won’t die in one punch.’
Actually, she wasn’t wrong. Park Deokgu’s endurance, which I thought had stopped growing, was already considered the top among the continent.
He might’ve grained more endurance during the 27th Corps crisis while he was dragging time against Donovan. Still, just because he held off the weakest of the demon generals, would that mean he’d be able to fight against one of the four angels?
If Donovan had delivered a serious punch from the beginning, Park Deokgu would’ve already been heavily injured.
In his position, the battle with Park Deokgu would’ve been nothing more than a brief entertainment. In the end, he didn’t have to show half of his power. Data didn’t lie. A pig that was not supported by other stats had nothing but defeat waiting for him.
It meant that I couldn’t put him on the stage just to get beaten up.
‘Then, where are you going to use him? I think I can use him properly if I find the right position for him. I won’t deny that he does act a little silly sometimes… The center of the party is the Tanker. He has grown enough to be able to hold the center of gravity.’
However, Deokgu hadn’t grown at all. Only his stats had grown even after our one year apart. He might’ve had the appropriate temperament, but his experience was still lacking.
I would be able to use him after five years, judging seriously. However, we couldn’t wait that long.
Although Cha-Hee was overestimating the Blue party, it was no exaggeration to say that the status of the Blue party came from Hyunsung Kim, Cho Hyejin, and Jung Hayan.
It wasn’t simply a matter of power. Of course, Jung Hayan was a little different, but apart from their power, Kim Hyunsung and Cho Hyejin could lead a party themselves.
That was also because of the individual ability of the executives who were able to raise the ability of the Blue party. They seemed to have a few screws missing, but it was because of them that we could raise the status of the guild.
Sun Hee-young had good abilities, but she wasn’t enough to be a substitute for the three people above her. She had many strengths, but she wasn’t a leader, and she was well aware of that fact as well.
‘Aren’t you anxious because they don’t have time to complete the mission? I think they can do it even if I don’t watch them.’
Noona just thought that way because she hadn’t seen him properly. Logically speaking, how would Noona know better than me? I knew the pig best.
Assuming that Park Deokgu was really used as a Tanker against the four great angels, at least Cho Hyejin should be included in his party.
That was not all. Since the pig was put up as the main, a priest who could heal and buff him would be essential. Either Elena or Sun Hee-young, who could cover the entire area, had to be next to him.
Since they didn’t even know how to wield a sword, I also had to add Kim Ye-ri. Ahn Ki-mo would need to serve as an auxiliary Tanker and a reserve priest for her as well.
Despite that setting, I couldn’t predict the victory properly, so I felt like it would cause more damages to our faction than benefits.
‘You’re being overprotective.’
“Overprotection, my ass. Let’s see who’s right.”
I sat on a chair and slowly entered the data.
I adjusted Donovan’s stats in a simulation against a party of 5 members: Park Deokgu, Kim Yeri, Ahn Ki-mo, Elena, and Kim Chang-ryul.
The tactical ability and the crisis response ability had to be fixed to the lowest.
Unlike Donovan and Limur, who reacted negatively against divine power, those angels had no such weakness, so it was only appropriate to lower Elena’s basic abilities.
“It’s not just about the war. We should also consider around.”
The battle began in the Goddess’s Mirror.
As Donovan swung his ax right away, Park Deokgu couldn’t hold up…
“Uh… He’s tanking it.”
I watched him taking the blows head-on.
“That’s just a buff. Shit.”
Elena instantaneously used her wits to push the buff further.
She initially assumed that he would be able to withstand the first blow. The problem was that the endurance and the physical strength of Park Deokgu weren’t insufficient, but once the supporter’s magic had been depleted, their limit would come immediately.
Perhaps soon…
‘It’s not bad.’
Even the fake cry of Park Deokgu affected the surrounding as well.
The friendly troops seen as data were certainly pushing the enemy troops out. I naturally thought that something was wrong with the Goddess’ Mirror. Otherwise, I might’ve had entered the data incorrectly.
‘Isn’t there an incorrect input?’
About two hours after the start of the battle, the balance was still tight, but in the end, the virtual Donovan broke virtual Park Deokgu.
“I knew it would be like this. Shit.”
‘He lasted quite well for two hours?’
“No, he only lasted for just two hours.”
Since it was just relative to the basic type, he could withstand such offensive well, but if he had been put against a relatively annoying beast, he wouldn’t have lasted even 10 minutes. We hadn’t been able to figure out what kind of abilities and characteristics the other pigeons would have.
Based on the angels that Hyunsung faced in the first timeline, they weren’t the type that Deokgu could face. It was out of the discussion.
As I tapped on my thigh with one hand and entered the specs and characteristics of the guy, he couldn’t hold up for less than an hour. The lowest tactical ability and the lowest crisis response ability caught the ankle of Park Deokgu’s party.
‘What if I change it?’
Out of curiosity, I adjusted the tactical ability and crisis response ability to the best level, and again, the simulated screen came into my eyes.
In fact, I thought there would be no difference, but it showed a different tension from the previous one. I thought it would take a little longer, so I increased the speed, but nothing changed.
They fought for 8 hours, 9 hours, and 13 hours.
Even…
‘What? Shit. How did they win…’
They caught the enemy at the end of an incomprehensibly bloody fight. Of course, I continued to repeat the same battle immediately. That was because I thought that the result I witnessed happened simply due to chance.
However, the probability of them winning was higher than I expected, which was 3%. The system was predicting more than 23%.
‘It’s a reasonable figure.’
Since we had raised the two most insufficient numbers to the top, in fact, even if we used Tactic Park Deokgu, there were still bound to be some missing parts.
Of course, we didn’t have time to tend to Park Deokgu’s party separately in that war. The entire region had to be controlled, after all.
‘Let’s do some training.’
For the remaining 33 days, if I refined the party with attributes and made up for the shortcomings, they might be able to hold on until Kim Hyunsung could go and help them.
The current Kim Hyunsung was in a stronger state than Kim Hyunsung in the first round, so it might not take him that long…
‘I don’t know, but really. F*CK.’
It wasn’t easy to make a decision.
For some reason, I didn’t know if it was because it was Park Deokgu, but the only thing that came to mind was the root that the pig kept rolling. Perhaps I had been denying the reality and wondering if I was brainwashing myself.
As soon as I got up from the seat and stepped in, a place where a large ship was moored came into my field of view.
“I thought you were coming hours ago. Why did you just show up now?” A familiar voice was also heard.
“I was a little busy. Rather, isn’t it fortunate that I came late? Did you finish what I told you to do?”
“…”
‘This bastard… .’
There was no way, but it looked like it was real, and it seemed that it couldn’t be completely organized within the time frame. Although I was speaking fairly, Park Deokgu’s face was reflected in my eyes.
“It’s not like that. I’m not the same Park Deokgu who was by you in the tutorial dungeon in the old days. I’m not the Park Deokgu that you raised anyway. I’m steadfast in progressing even when you didn’t tell me.”
“Are you confident about that? Do you think it would be okay to check your stats, then?”
“Let’s see. Still, because Hyung-nim came late, I checked several times more. By the way, how is Noona these days?”
“Don’t change the topic. Take the lead, Deokgu.”
“I’m not changing the topic. I’m really worried. Hyung-nim is too busy these days, and Hyunsung is the same… Noona doesn’t even see my nosebleed at all… Sora is with Noona, and Hyejin Noona isn’t working these days separately. I know we don’t have much time left, but the more time passes, the more we have to get together. I really wish we had a gathering before the outbreak of war… Honestly, I don’t want to say this, but if anyone gets seriously injured…”
“It won’t be like that. No one’s going to die. You don’t have to worry about that. Just do what you need to do or do what is right. Look, you little pig. It seems like you forgot something.”
“Huh?”
He looked at my face, confusion visible in his eyes.
The appearance of the guy looking through his bag while moving his body was ugly. He couldn’t even take proper orders to prepare stuff for Noah’s Ark, and I became more confident that the bastard wasn’t the one.
“Ah, ah, ah… It looks like I was a little mistaken. I seem to have forgotten one page… So this…”
“Where and what is Ahn Ki-mo doing?”
“He’s doing something else…”
“Did you tell him that you’re going to try it alone again?”
“No such thing. Ki-mo also… said that he has something else to do…”
“I can’t entrust you with anything, really.”
“Oh… not really. I really forgot…”
“I think I already told you this was important.”
“…”
“You don’t even know why I entrusted this to you? Do you remember what I said?”
“Oh, of course, I remember it. I remember! Yes, this is a landing operation using the boat. If we fail, we go straight into the enemy’s heart!”
“By the way. What would happen if there were no necessary items on board?”
“…”
“No. Don’t do it, Deokgu. Just do something else. You know why I This isn’t necessary. It would be better for you to stay behind.”
“No, that’s why… Sorry…”
“I don’t need that, just go to the right place…”
“…”
“…”
‘Oh, that bastard’s expression…’
“Fine. This is your last chance. What’s your mission?”
“Participate in the battle as a center…”
“And?”
“Keep the boat safe.”
“And?”
“The landing operation.”
“Yes, that’s it.”
‘Yes, shit. What can I even entrust to him? This is bullshit.’
Even if I thought about it a hundred times, the task that suited Park Deokgu was just to defend Noah’s ark.
